Summary

They half-lay on the couch with Bobbi nestled up against Clint, his arm around her shoulder. Before the rain, Bobbi had dragged him to a myriad of used bookstores. For the most part, Clint wasn’t all that interested in names like Hemingway and Faulkner and Conrad and Shelley, but he was happy to be spending time with her without the bickering. She had bought so much that Clint hardly kept track.

Summary

It has been a little over six months. The incomplete Barton family have somewhat settled into a routine. Kate still babysits from time to time. Sometimes Tony shows the kids some new gadgets. Slowly, Clint learns to cut the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches into triangles and how to write a check and how to braid Violet’s hair. Her braid still has the tendency of having tufts of hair sticking out, but it will do. Clint secures it with a purple ribbon. He takes Francis more frequently to the range. The younger Barton gets better every time and Clint can’t help but beam with pride.
